Rare Antique Minton Cockatrice Plate, Chartreuse Green, Hand-Painted Bone China

Excellent Condition

Minton's Cockatrice is a famous ceramic sculpture created by the English pottery company Minton in the late 19th century. The Cockatrice is a mythical creature, with the body of a rooster and the tail of a serpent.

The sculpture was designed by John Wadsworth and modeled by Paul Comolera, and it was exhibited at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1867, where it received great acclaim. Minton's Cockatrice became one of the company's most popular and recognizable designs, and it was produced in a variety of sizes and colors, including turquoise, celadon, and puce.

Minton's Cockatrice was made using fine bone china, which is a type of porcelain that contains a significant amount of bone ash. This material gives bone china its characteristic translucency, whiteness, and strength. Minton's Cockatrice was typically decorated with hand-painted designs and intricate gilding, which added to its luxurious appearance.
